Even if Schluter and his allies eventually win the latest skirmish, Danish ambivalence toward NATO is unlikely to fade. Defense spending has dwindled to 2.1% of the country's gross domestic product, one of the lowest rates in the < alliance. (Norway, by contrast, spends 3.1%.)

Meanwhile it has quietly appointed scores of conservative judges to the Federal Courts and to the Supreme Court. Only now, after seven years of relative quiet on the civil rights front, are these appointments taking their toll--giving America a bitter taste of the Reagan legacy...
